1885 Pattern Cavalry Trooper's Sword
Carried by both the 9th Lancers and the Denbighshire Yeomanry
(Wales). It was made by Weyersberg, Kirschbaum and Company of
Germany who manufactured large quantities of swords for the
British Army during the latter half of the 19th Century due
mainly to the fact that British sword makers could not meet
demand. This was an unusual pattern of British cavalry sword as
it featured a pierced Maltese Cross in the hilt. Grips are made
from chequered leather. This sword has extensive issue and date
stamps to both the blade fortes and top of the hilt. These
regimental markings are repeated on the scabbard throat.
